Setting moon

The moon flower blooming has decreased significantly as fall approaches. Thought I would try a more simple version of one of the blooms.

John - Quite nice. A perspective that shows the Datura exactly as its seen in reality. A crop from the top and some space on right and left will also look great in my opinion.

Hi John

Good to see the details of this flower. Like the graduated blue white bg. The frame looks a little tight to me also.

I like the details in the bloom John. The color is good too. For me, since this is centered, I feel like the slight left tilt of the bloom needs to be corrected.

As I really like the bloom, the composition feels a bit static to me. Might be that the additional room might change this, and it might just be me.

Very original John. Unusual take on the Datura. I think a little more room around the bloom might help. Well done!
